Devon gets romantic

The speed camera was also the one across Devon and Cornwall that issued the most Fixed Penalty Notices during the three year period. There were 3,116 issued, with other motorists caught breaking the speed limit either offered a speed awareness course or sent to court due to the severity of the offence.

A Freedom of Information Request to Devon and Cornwall Police also showed that speed cameras on the A385 Ashburton Road, Totnes, and the A30 Roseworthy Dip (East), Camborne, had high activation numbers.

What are the speeding penalties?

The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.

You could be disqualified from driving if you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years.

If you’re stopped by the police for the speeding offence, they can either:

send you the details of the penalty

send the case straight to court

If you weren’t stopped by the police for the speeding offence (eg it was caught by speed camera), the vehicle’s registered keeper must be sent a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days. You may have to go to court if you ignore the notice.
